Allow PTSD companion dogs to be classed as assistance dogs.

Petition Details

It has been proven that dogs have assisted those suffering from mental health issues. The prime example is that in the USA dogs for military veterans suffering PTSD, have enabled the individual. The fact that this proven and recognized assistance is not recognized here in the UK needs to be changed.
